So I was reading this. And my first reaction - Who the eff even writes stuff like this for public consumption?!

Times of India just gets better by the day, doesn't it? Its funny how they tried to humanize the whole hanging thing of Yakub Menon. How he had a last call with his daughter, how he kept telling he didn't do anything to her, how he told her wanted to see her married and live HEA but was now never going to get the chance and stuff like that. Agreed of course - he was a human being. He had emotions. He loved his family and all that. But the people who died in those blasts na (never mind that it was so long ago) - they also loved their families and they were equally loved back by their families. And they never got to have a choice of last meal or last bath or for that matter, even a last hi/bye.

But I guess - TOI's business isn't to waste Paper/Internet space on things like that. Their only business is to sensationalize and glorify all the wrong stuff. Whether Yakub Memon was truly involved in all that stuff or not is known only to him, his immediate family and whoever was involved in that crime back then and above all, God. But for as long as its being held that he was involved in it and there's no evidence to prove against it, I don't know what spurs TOI to publish stuff like it does.

By the way, sample this gem here in the second article: "Recently, Chhota Shakeel, one of the key accused in the case, told Times of India that India committed "legal murder" and closed all future doors for negotiations by its intelligence agencies to secure the return of Dawood, who was allegedly the mastermind behind the coordinated attacks."

Bwahahahahaha! Effing Jerks!

Anyways, getting back to the main topic, moral of my ranting is - TOI is officially the scum of the Indian Media.

P.S. While on the topic of TOI - considering porn is being banned, I urge the GOI to seriously consider including TOI on their list too. Look at the homepage of TOI and you'll know why!
